How was I supposed to get in?

I ended up doing one of the puzzles to register, but I tried for a long time to hack the login page.

What I did was I copied the source, pasted it to Notepad, and saved it as an .htm file. I then changed all the relative links to absolute links to ensure that it directed to the correct page (and also so I could have the nice CSS and graphics) and then did as the comment said; I changed it to <input type="submit" name="hackersubmit" value="Submit" class="mainoption" />, and the submit button showed up just like it should. I then filled out the form and hit 'submit' (this is with the file saved locally and open in Firefox) and I was directed to the login.php page where I got a message about invalid completion of the form.

So when I broke down and did the stupid puzzle, I went back to the login page (now with the submit button visible) and checked the source. What the French Toast? It was just like I had it???

Please shed some light.

Oh. I just realized that I think this page is publicly viewable, so we wouldn't want to put the solution here...

Sorry. If anyone feels compelled to PM me, though...

That is the correct way to register, but maybe you had a typo somewhere. I don't remember the exact code you had to use but I believe the source file itself tells you what you need.

Hey, I think those puzzles are interesting! I hope you're not here to learn about cracking e-mail accounts.

No, I'm not into cracking email accounts.

I did mine with Firebug in Firefox.

Do What? I dd one of the puzzles too because i tried like you did, minus the " changed all the relative links to absolute links to ensure that it directed to the correct page ". What the Heck does that mean and how do you do it?
